While our moniker may mean “bad boy,” everything else here at Chico Malo is all good. From our edgy, bold menu boasting the flavors of Mexico and South America to our carefully cultivated lineup of signature craft cocktails, the choices at Chico Malo are as colorful and innovative as the surrounding Downtown Phoenix landscape. A power lunch option ideal for the local workforce or a pre-or post-game bite, Chico Malo heats things up when the lights go down, transforming into a chic and stylish eatery tucked comfortably within the heart of CityScape. With its multi-talented culinary team and its varied, elevated Mexican and South American flavors, Chico Malo fills a long-overdue void in the Downtown Phoenix food scene.
